Justin no woman today would submit her body to the rigours of pregnancy to just to let the baby die or have the baby adopted.

In a culture that worships the body beautiful, would you voluntarily submit your body to increased risk of tumor growth, incontinence, increased weight, increased cellulite, varicose veins.
Make no mistake abortion is safer than carry a full term pregnancy and using mifespristone is less stress on the body than abortion.

For the record I have no problem with infanticide when then baby is so disabled that it will be unable to have a normal life.

I am really offended by the army of do gooders who expect parents to look after seriously disabled children when these same do gooders are divorced parents. I have no problem with the state or society rearing these disabled children but truly annoyed that its your genetic material its your problem. God help us when we revert to user pays health care!

Best solution, make all male / female sex without a license illegal.

So it is moral to kill babies because it may result in your body looking a little worse? Are we so vain that was can justify murder for such reasons?

Ladies and Gentle men, if you decide to have sex without use of a condom or other easily available contraceptives then this is the price you pay! Don’t externalise your problems on the resulting baby!

DLC, the point, however, is that no matter the fact that men and women had a 50-50 split in creating the situation, it is only women whom suffer the consequences.

Perhaps you should do a little research into the possible complications of pregnancy and see if this seems like just 'losing your looks'.

Hmm, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, piles, vomiting...

nevermind being ungainly for months, feet spreading, skeleton changing, hot flushes, food restrictions, stretch marks...

People abort because they do not want to go through this, and never signed up to it when they had sex, especially if they were using contraception, which MOST people do

Laurie, I would be interested since I find it hard to find data on this, Where does anyone find info on what proportion of abortions are for women who have used contraception but it fails? The only thing I find is that incest/rape/etc is a very very low proportion.

And I have heard (not confirmed), why do the Scandinavian countries have a lower incidence of abortion, do they use better contraception? Help appreciated.

I would ask if the failure rate is significant (small number but due to the consequences high impact) do we combat this by better education or using multiple contraceptives?

the lower incidence of abortion in the scandanavian countries is the result of a number of factors. firstly sex education begins at a young age and the sylabus is governemnt regulated and the same no matter what type of school. this has resulted in better and more effective use of contraceptives, and contrary to claims from various so called moral crusaders, has in fact resulted in a much lower incidence of teen promiscurity, with all the benefits such as lower pregnancy, lower abortion rate and lower rate of std infection. compare this to countrys which teach abstinence or very little sexe dd in school and the rates of all these things are much higher.

im trying to find a link to this information. will post it when i can.
